As part of an experiential marketing campaign designed to educate and engage families, Yorkshire Water required a unique touring attraction that would capture attention and encourage participation. The objective was to create a memorable container escape room that combined entertainment with education while supporting a wider brand activation campaign across Yorkshire.
The Container Converter was tasked with designing and building a bespoke interactive environment that could travel between locations, helping Yorkshire Water connect with audiences through an immersive and engaging experience.
Designing a Custom Container Escape Room
To bring the concept to life, The Container Converter transformed two 20ft ISO shipping containers into a fully customised escape room container. Stacked one above the other, the structure created a multi-level experience that maximised visitor engagement while maintaining a practical footprint suitable for touring events.
The exterior of the structure was fully branded, creating a highly visible brand activation space that stood out in busy public environments. The project demonstrates how experiential containers can be adapted to support promotional campaigns, educational initiatives and interactive public engagement activities.
Creating an Immersive Gaming Experience
Designed to appeal to families and visitors of all ages, the attraction delivered a fully immersive gaming experience centred around participation, discovery and fun.
One of the most distinctive features was an internal slide connecting the upper and lower containers. Visitors began their journey on the upper level before descending through the slide into the lower container, creating a memorable and unexpected experience that enhanced the overall attraction.
This creative approach transformed the structure into a highly interactive gaming unit, encouraging visitors to engage with Yorkshire Water’s messaging while enjoying an entertaining challenge.
Experiential Containers for Brand Activation
At ground level, the lower container featured a large ball pit that formed part of the overall experience. Combined with the themed environment and fully branded exterior, the attraction successfully blended education, entertainment and audience engagement.
The project highlights how experiential containers can be used to create impactful brand activations, allowing organisations to communicate key messages in a way that is interactive, memorable and engaging. By combining physical environments with immersive activities, brands can create stronger connections with their audiences and encourage meaningful participation.
A Touring Escape Room Container
Designed to travel throughout towns and cities across Yorkshire, the completed escape room container provided Yorkshire Water with a flexible activation that could be deployed at multiple locations throughout the campaign.
The durability and portability of shipping containers made them an ideal platform for a touring brand activation, enabling the attraction to reach new audiences while maintaining a consistent visitor experience at every location.
The Result
The completed container escape room delivered a highly engaging visitor attraction that combined education, entertainment and brand awareness within a single touring structure. Featuring a multi-level layout, internal slide, ball pit and fully branded exterior, the project demonstrates how experiential containers, gaming pods and interactive gaming units can be transformed into memorable brand activation environments that leave a lasting impression on visitors.
